Yixing Zisha Teapot Lien Lien – Duan Ni Fen Jiang 200ml | Master Đặng Hỷ Lan

The Yixing Zisha Teapot Lien Lien is a work of rustic, natural beauty rich in craftsmanship. With a capacity of 200ml, the pot's shape is compact and well-balanced, suited to solo tea sessions or a tea ceremony setting for 2–3 people.

Made from Duan Ni Fen Jiang clay, with its warm, deep brownish-yellow tone, paired with the distinctive Lien Lien shape, the teapot impresses with the raw beauty of zisha clay and richly characterful handcrafted lines.

1. The Lien Lien shape – rustic and distinctive

The Lien Lien shape is formed with a full-bodied silhouette, its natural curves evoking the form of flower petals and a lotus seed pod. The body is not overly elaborate, yet carries several layers of shifting volume, giving a sense of sturdiness and vitality when viewed from different angles.

The lid is shaped in harmony with the body, highlighted by a knob with a natural form. The spout tilts gently upward, while the handle is curved softly, lending balance to the whole.

A notable point of this piece is that the body's surface retains a raw, unglazed texture, which brings out the clay's character and the artisan's handcrafted mark.

2. Duan Ni Fen Jiang – a warm, deep clay tone

The pot is crafted from Duan Ni Fen Jiang clay, with its warm, deep brownish-yellow tone and a beauty carrying a classic air.

The clay's surface shows natural variation in tone and texture, creating a sense of authenticity and warmth. This is also part of the appeal of handcrafted zisha pieces, where each pot can carry its own particular traits from the making process.

The brown tone of Duan Ni Fen Jiang suits a traditional tea setting especially well, and pairs easily with wooden, ceramic or zisha tea accessories.

3. 7-hole strainer – designed for tea brewing

The pot is fitted with a 7-hole strainer, which holds the tea leaves back inside while pouring, making the flow of tea more convenient during use.

The strainer system is neatly arranged, staying in harmony with the pot's overall structure. With a capacity of 200ml, the pot suits brewing moderate batches of tea, making it convenient to control the amount of tea and the steeping time.

4. Master Đặng Hỷ Lan

The piece is crafted by master Đặng Hỷ Lan, clearly reflecting a spirit that values natural form and handcrafted character.

The body, lid, spout and handle are all worked in harmony, forming a whole that is sturdy yet still soft to the eye. The body's surface keeps its raw, original texture, helping the tea drinker better sense the beauty of the clay and the making process.

This is a pot suited to those who love zisha works with a distinctive shape, a moderate capacity, and a leaning toward natural beauty rather than over-refinement.
